The Allied States of Salorus Shron is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by President Verity Hattress with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.164 billion Salorus Shronians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saloru City. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Salorus Shronian economy, worth 673 trillion Marks a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,481 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, skateparks can be found in every city, the nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks, and children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Salorus Shron's national animal is the Kabarda Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Saloruism.

Salorus Shron is ranked 30,399^th in the world and 53^rd in Wintreath for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.48 law-abiding acts per hour.
